Tottenham now linked with ‘The Snake’

Tottenham and Arsenal seem, at this point in time, to be in for the same players. The Alvaro Morata hype rumbles on with Liverpool apparently now entering the fray for the services of the brilliant young Spaniard.

Whether he is actually available remains to be seen. Carlo Ancellotti has stated that he is not prepared to let anybody leave his Real Madrid squad in the winter window.

“No-one is leaving and no-one is coming in.

So, despite all the bluster surrounding a move, both Arsenal and Tottenham may have to look elsewhere. We recently told you about Arsenal’s reported interest in Serie A striker Mirko Vucinic. The 30 year old veteran of the Italian league, nicknamed ‘The Snake’, has had his fair share of starts for Juventus since joining a club in 2011.

But the summer arrivals of Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente have limited the playing time of the Monetenegrin. He’s had just 8 games for the club this season – but still bagged a couple of goals. In fact, without being prolific, he’s always found the net with regularity. He’s got 21 in 71 for Juventus and scored 46 in 147 for his previous club Roma.

He’s also done the business on the international stage with a creditable 15 in 39 starts for his country.
